Chapter 328 On two construction methods of soil embryo houses

Qin Junyi: "As long as they don't disturb the people, I will send people to help dig holes for them to live in."

"That's great!" Mr. Tian looked happy. "In this way, I can send five hundred people and find dozens of craftsmen for you."

Qin Junyi nodded to express satisfaction.

When talking about remuneration, Mr. Tian was honest and said bluntly: "If the folks in the village help build houses, they only need to provide one meal. My people have come all the way and they are all poor farmers who are suffering from hunger and cold. Please provide two For a meal, as for money, one or two cents is enough."

"No problem, I can provide two meals and three cents as salary. Those with outstanding performance can also receive additional rewards. The only thing is that they must obey the deployment completely and work hard. I will not accept cheating or slipping."

"Don't worry, we don't have the kind of people you mentioned in our gang, and no one would want to mess up the job they finally got."

The two discussed some more details, and Mr. Tian left with a happy face.

When he was approaching the entrance of the village, he saw a noise coming from ahead.

It turned out that the matter of the bricks being "robbed" was reported to the stewards at all levels. When the chief official learned about it, he was so angry that he swept everything on the desk to the ground and said, "Immediately send all the available government officials to Beiling Village. Catch the person who moved the bricks last night!"

His nephew took the steward and dozens of government servants and drove to Beiling Village in a donkey cart. However, due to the long distance, he did not arrive until now.

At the entrance of Beiling Village, the Qin family's shadow guards had been waiting for a long time and stopped them as soon as they saw them.

Chang Shi's nephew asked in a arrogant voice: "You are so brave, how dare you stop the government servants from doing their errands, are you going to risk your life?"

Shiyi said in a cold voice: "From now on, my master has the final say on the boundaries of Beiling Village. If it was about the green bricks, the money and goods would have been cleared long ago. You can go back to where you came from. If it's the state capital If you have any objections, send a capable person to see my master."

"You want to rebel!" a fiery-tempered government official yelled angrily.

"If you really want to rebel, you have already been nodded to the ground." After saying that, Shiyi leaned forward, and in the blink of an eye, the saber on the man's waist fell into Shiyi's hand and was placed across the master's neck.

The others took a few steps back in horror, drew their swords and pointed at Shiyi: "Put down the sword!"

Several other shadow guards took a step forward and stood behind Shi Yi, holding the sword hilt tightly with their right hands, in a posture of preparing for battle.

Shiyi pushed the man in his hand into the opponent's crowd, then raised the sword, changed his posture and threw it forward.

The blade was completely submerged into the mountain, leaving only the handle exposed.

The government officials were shocked and angry. They had never seen a commoner who dared to openly challenge the government government. Aren't they afraid that Lord Zhou Mu would send troops to arrest him?

After a moment of stalemate, the leading officer waved his hand and asked the person who had just been kidnapped to retrieve the sword.

However, the blade of the sword was tightly embedded in the mountain, and the man could not pull it out at all. After gathering the strength of three people, they managed to pull it out, and everyone fell to the ground.

"Just wait for me!" the leading officer said harshly, and led the people back in despair.

Chang Shi's nephew gave up and chased after them with great strides, "Don't leave! There are only a few of them, there are dozens of us, are we afraid that we can't defeat them?"

The leading yamen officer was holding back his anger. Hearing this, he crackled and burned the other party to death: "What are your eyes for? Didn't you see the big tent in the field? Even if you don't have eyes, you should still be there." Listen to your manager talking about the approximate number of people who moved bricks last night. Even if all the government servants came, there would be nothing they could do, so why would they be left here? Idiots!"

Chang Shi's nephew breathed loudly like a toad, but he dared not speak out in anger.

Martial arts prevailed in Youzhou, and the leading officer was from a wealthy local family. Even his uncle Chang Shi had to give in, so he couldn't offend him.

Boss Tian hid himself and witnessed the whole process, feeling shocked in his heart: When did Beiling Village become the Qin family's?

I have only heard of claiming the mountain to be the king, but no one has claimed the village to be the king!

Is this job of building a house still achievable?

Just when Mr. Tian was thinking, a look that was as sharp as killing someone glanced over at him. He suddenly got all sweaty and walked out with a sneer.

Shiyi looked at it for a moment and asked, "Are you the leader of the Tian Gang?"

"It's down."

"The government affairs have nothing to do with you, so there is no need to worry. Please be fully committed to the cooperation between the two parties."

"Definitely, definitely." Mr. Tian cupped his hands, turned around and left pretending to be calm.

Oh my god, who are these people? Almost scared to death!

Even though he became the leader of a gang, Boss Tian was still a simple and life-saving commoner. He was so scared by Shiyi that he didn't dare to have other thoughts.

He touched the dime of silver given by Qin Junyi as a thank you and said to himself: Never mind, anyway, if the sky falls, the Qin family will bear it. I would like to remind everyone that if there is a conflict between the Qin family and the government, they should stay away if they do not help each other.

At noon, the men who had worked all night last night were refreshed. After a good meal, they began to work together to cut down wooden models, prepare the land and dig foundations, and make clay bricks.

People from the Tian Gang arrived one after another and were organized into small teams to join them.

Su Yunwan saw that they first mixed the soil with water into a slurry, added crushed straw, poured it into a square wooden mold of the same size, tamped it hard, and then placed it in a place sheltered from rain to dry in the shade, thus obtaining a large adobe brick.

This kind of large adobe brick is similar to a green brick, but it has not been fired and is far less strong than a green brick.

It is used to build houses in dry and rainless areas in the north. As long as there are no floods or fires, the lifespan can be as long as decades.

Most of the adobe houses built in the rural areas of Jicheng only use mud and wheat straw to form walls, and then use wood, straw, etc. to pave the roof. This way, local materials can be used, and there is no need to spend money to buy lime to make mortar for the walls.

But such a house has a fatal flaw: the walls are not strong and can easily crack or even collapse.

So people simply built thatched houses, and in the bitter cold winter, just like animals hibernating, the whole family would hide in the cellar to spend the winter.

However, they could only lie on the straw, wrapped in a thin quilt, and rely on their thoughts to get through it.

There is a saying that goes, "Be rich in the summer, poor in the winter." For the common people at the bottom, spending the winter is like a calamity, and many people freeze to death every year.

When Su Yunwan saw their process, he thought of the historical information he had read and roughly knew the process of making adobe houses.

At the same time, she also thought of another adobe house construction technology: the board-and-mud construction method.

This method of building a house only requires mud, grass and wood, and is stronger and warmer than what people build today.

Su Yunwan suddenly became interested and planned to build a room first and try it out.

If it is completed, and it is equipped with a fire kang, no matter how cold the weather is, you will not be afraid.

From then on, people can come out of the cellar and live a normal life.

But she didn't expect that a big problem would arise.
